Mapletree Logistics Trust Granted Option to Purchase

Logistics Property in Singapore

Singapore, 9 July 2021 - Mapletree Logistics Trust Management Ltd., as manager (the "Manager") of Mapletree Logistics Trust ("MLT"), is pleased to announce that pursuant to an Option to Purchase agreement ("OTP"), HSBC Institutional Trust Services (Singapore) Limited (in its capacity as trustee of MLT) has been granted an option to acquire 9 Changi South Street 2 in Singapore (the "Property") from RSH Holdings Pte Ltd for a purchase price of S$24.5 million (the "Proposed Acquisition"). The Proposed Acquisition is subject to, among others, approval from JTC Corporation and exercise of the OTP by MLT.

Rationale for the Proposed Acquisition

Ms Ng Kiat, Chief Executive Officer of the Manager said, "With a limited supply of logistics properties in the eastern part of Singapore, 9 Changi South Street 2 is an attractive property given its prime location and a relatively long remaining land tenure of over 33 years. The property is also adjacent to our existing property at 15 Changi South Street 2, thus presenting the opportunity for potential economies of scale."

The Property is easily accessible by the ECP expressway and in close proximity to Changi Airport (~7km) and the Expo MRT (~850m). Its favourable location will attract demand from industries involved in high-value and time-sensitive goods such as electronics and pharmaceutical, as well as e-commerce firms and third-party logistics players ("3PLs") looking to expand in the Changi South/East region.

The Property is well-poised to benefit from Singapore's position as a key logistics hub due to the country's excellent infrastructure and connectivity. Ranked as Asia's top logistics hub for 10 years in

a row, Singapore has attracted the top 25 global logistics firms to set up operations locally1. The future air cargo facility at Changi Airport Terminal 5 will see an increase in annual handling capacity from 3 million tonnes to 5.4 million tonnes and the adoption of enhanced technologies, giving Singapore a competitive advantage in handling pharmaceutical, perishable and e-commerce cargo.

The Property will be sold with vacant possession and the Manager is in talks with an international 3PL to lease the Property as the anchor tenant.
